Ageing 2*
(Listening to CONNECT.OHM - Snow Park)
Time
has made
us
more Apt
to go out
in Public
Looking
ugly-
less vain
in areas
where
Life will
Settle you down;
laugh lines*
Appeasing the
Parts of Me
who
just didn’t
make it
Into the Gene pool for
some idealized fulfillment,
dark eye circles*
detailing
my own
Mortality,
a jacket that’s*
Regressing
towards
early
adulthood with the
Places
We’ve been
Tucked neatly
In their
pockets
And a purse*
Unable
to Clear
the turnstile
Of Scurried emotion;
telling off on everybody.
